one Day Early - 1986 Jeep Wagoneer - Photo 35032235

Although it looks old, John Nelson’s Wagoneer is actually a later-model ’86 with a Rhino grille conversion complete with the Kaiser-era Jeep badge. Under the hood is a 0.060-over amc 360 with an RV cam, Rhodes lifters, Edlebrock intake and headers, and a Howell tbi fuel-injection system. The tf727 slusher still hands power off to the np208, which in turn sends it on its way to the front and rear Dana 44s with 4.27s. The front sports an unspecified locker and the rear is cranking a spool. bj’s Off-Road provided the 4-inch suspension that, when teamed with a 2-inch body lift and some fender trimming, fit the 37-inch-tall Interco iroks.
